I am curious why you feel that commercial UL listed programs are not adequate. The calculations are only valid within certain specific parameters which the programs monitor such as: Tee splits % of pipe fill Velocity Nozzle pressures Liquid run out time. Other things?

I know that now a days UL listed computer softwares are able do to a complete hydraulic calculations, but actually these softwares are also based on some formulas and equations. The more I look for, the less I find! I would like to ask if it is possible to do hydraulic calculations of a engineered FM-200 System manually? Or the formulas are secrets and only software owners like Hughes associates have it!? If NFPA has the formulas for hydraulic calculations of HCF-227ea Systems, why doesn't NFPA publish them? Thanks for your kind help Regards, Reza "Ford, Charles" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Reza, There are many issues with your question and statements. NFPA 12A is [more accurately was] for Halon 1301 ONLY. NFPA 2001 describes the calculation method for FM-200 although I'm not sure they can be duplicated by normal people. We have all been disappointed by FM-200 Calcs but I see no other solution other than the specific manufacturers UL listed computer program(s).

I would be thankful if you can answer my question or help me how th solve my problem. My question is as below: To do hydraulic calculation of a FM-200 600Psi, system first I want to calculate the percent of FM-200 in piping to be able to find out working pressure, there is a formula in NFPA 12A to determine percent of agent in piping, which is k1/[(W/V)+ K2 ] but there is nothing about this issue in NFPA 2001, I want to know if I can calculate percent of HFC-227ea in piping based on the same formula which is in NFPA 12 A, can I use the same K1 & K2 Constants of Halon 1301 for HFC-227ea? If not, how can I calculate? I don't know if I am going the right way, I was looking for a worked example but I couldn't find, can anybody help me? Thanks in advance.
